55 == Porter’s five forces analysis ==
56
57 Porter’s five forces is a model developed by Michael E. Porter of Harvard University in 1979. The model assesses the competitiveness of an industry and the profitability of the companies given the competition.
58
59 Threat of new entrant in this industry is lower because a new aspirant in the industry will need huge capital investment and many regulatory permissions in order to start producing drugs. The brand loyalty of the customers is another factor contributing to the barrier of entry.
60
61 Threat of substitute products at industry level is low because the companies produce all types of drugs such as allopathic, homeopathic, unani, ayurvedic, and harbal. So, to cure a disease when prescribed a medicine, the consumers will have to come to the industry. But at a company-level, the threat of substitute products is high.
62
63 Bargaining power of the buyers is very low in the industry. The patients need to depend on the prescribed products by the doctors and they cannot but buy the drugs at a price setup by the pharmaceutical companies. However, the government has regulations regarding prices of different lifesaving drugs. But those are often not up to the mark for compliance.
64
65 Bargaining power of the suppliers is very high. Bangladesh imports over 90% raw materials for pharmaceutical industry worth Tk 47 billion.{{footnote}}https://thefinancialexpress.com.bd/views/api-park-to-boost-export-of-medicines-1594485666{{/footnote}} This makes the bargaining power of the suppliers high and the companies also remain vulnerable to external shocks. Oftentimes, the price of the drugs in the industry fluctuates due to high import costs. However, Bangladesh has laid the foundation to manufacture at least half the raw materials inside the country. Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) Industrial Park is being constructed in Gazaria, Munshiganj.
66
67 Rivalry among the top players in the industry is very high. About 68% of the market is controlled by top 10 companies. For a generic medicine class all the companies have a brand which competes against each other in the market.
